The last brookville (roadster) I did, had over 90 hrs in it B4 it was ready to paint, compared to 8 - 12 on an N&N (glass)
Again Do the math.
BTW Ed @ New Age probably builds the nicest and most correct 5 W on the market, and he's a great guy to deal with.

....only 90?? You must have gotten a good one then

I have 30-40 hours in the trunk lid alone, then there's the 20-30 hour '32 grille shell tooling marks as well as the depressed areas and the right top corner that was misshaped, tooling marks along the trunk reveal, a door that oil canned, a cowl side that didn't meet the cowl cover, the left quarter panel that was flat and needed to be cut loose to be fixed. And that's the repairs I can recall without going to my pictures. Oh yeah - how can a door gap (just at the reveal) be fine before the car is blown apart to paint and bad after paint?? But - it's a steel car, can be fixed fairly easily, but as an amateur my efforts do take a bit longer

I did this car because I wanted a good steel OEM or repro - I just didn't think it would take as long to fix the body as a 75+ year old version
